the elbow call for the first PP to the Flyers was just as bad.

I've seen coaches dired for less than what the flyers have done this year.

Putting in Boucher is a dumbass move.

However the way this team came out to play, or has played in the 2nd period has nothing to do with systems. Or what the coach preaches. They came out playing nothing like they did in the first 20.

I see far more than a simple coaching issue. Thats what I am continously getting at.

it's both. the coach isn't helping. imho.

This move is beyond stupid
- Giroux_Is_God


Agreed. I guess it's the "fire up the team" goalie pull.... but pretty dangerous given the situation

You don't think that maybe Laviolette tells them to sit back & protect the lead, rather than keeping the foot on the gas?

Is this the same coach who can't help but blow his load during a tight checking Rangers game?

I thought his game was always uptempo, push the pace.

Too many Flyers not willing to take a hit to make a play.

That "turnover" by Gus was really Briere not being willing to battle for that puck along the boards imo. He's got to fight for that puck not just wus out and leave it for the Pens player there. If they're not giving the D any safe targets for outlet passes then they have to be willing to battle for those wall passes and get the puck out.

Same goes for the failed dump-ins. Too many times they worried about taking a hit and they half-ass the dump-in attempt and it doesn't get deep.

And I have no idea why they're pulling Bryz. None of those were bad goals, and Boucher is not exactly confidence inspiring.

i was just saying he's not battling for ANYTHING

and i never want to see bruno gervais again

I have no idea.

Either way they didnt protect the lead or keep the foot on the gas. Just like the NY game they lost battle after battle. Even when they had the Pens outnumbered.

This team has an inability to work hard for an extended amount of time.

I am starting to lean more toward him being fired. Not because that is what I am advocating but that is what I see happening. The Flyers simply suck ass in the own zone. Lose battle after battle.

I'd be making sounds like that if Bruno Gervais was my D partner.
